Octave Range
Sets the key range in octaves over which arpeggio will take
place. If you want the arpeggio to sound using only the notes
that you actually play, set this parameter to 0. To have the
arpeggio sound using the notes you play and notes 1 octave
higher, set this parameter to +1. A setting of -1 will make the
arpeggio sound using the notes you play and notes 1 octave
lower.
Motif
Sets the order in which notes of the chord will sound.
Some settings will not be available depending on the
Style parameter setting. For details on the possible
values, refer to "Arpeggio Style List" (p. 268).
